THE AWFUL DISCOVERY.

Mr.. Arnold, with almost maniacal
strength, removed the debris, and last of all
q heavy plank lying across his wife's neck
Blood oozed from wounds in her temple
The husband lifted his wife's head on his
knee and weeping like a child called on
her to answer him. Her only response was
weak My baby ; my baby; where is my
baby? ?" With her lips moving, as if form
ing these words, she expired.
The ten-year-old daughter, Claudia, was
dead when found. The baby lay in the
bed, bat although severely cut about the
head and covered with blood, it was safe
The mother and child were removed to
shelter, and the work of rescuing the in
mates then continued, and after several
hours all were accounted for. Not one of
them escaped without injury, and in many
instances escape from death was miracu-
lous.-
A. L. Berry, who was in the second story
of the house, was thrown out of window
to the ground as the house fell down but
got off with a few bruises.
Neighbors attended the wounded all
night long. When day broke and the
scene Of the calamity could be seen, a mass
OF piled up broken boards and bricks was
| all that remained of the hotel of the day
before.

OTHER DISASTERS

Two other houses in close proximity had
been flai!ened to the earth. Fences and
roofs had been torn up and carried hun
dreds OF yards. The ground was covered
with wreckage, the course of the storm be-
ing plainly marked.
Mr.. Arnold came to this city with his
little child. He was Frustrated with grief,
and in telling his terrible experience broke
down every moment or two. His battered
face and tattered clothes, the latter torn
into strips by the falling wreckage, told
their own vivid story.
The Coroner held an inquest yesterday,
and the jury returned verdict that in
their opinion the construction of the build
ing was most unsafe, and that it was in
sufficiently braced.

AN UNPRECEDENTED STORM.

The storm of the past few days is with
out doubt one of the heaviest ever expert
eneed in Southern California. Telegraph
and telephone lines are down, and reports
of devastation are gathered from trainmen.
In addition to the hotel, which cost $10,-
600, at Cana2a, other losses are estimated
at $4,000.
Many people forsook their homes and
sought refuge in the school-house at Glen
dora.
Several cottages were prostrated at Pa
quima.
In San Fernando valley the loss is s.. 600.
At San Fernando the roof of the ware
house was lifted off and landed across the
track.
At Lordsburg the new hotel was COM
pletely blown down last night, entailing a
loss Of $4,000.
At Rialto several houses were overturned
and number of persons injured.
Al Cueamonga the depot is almost q total
loss, the new hotel total wreck and a
number of stores, buildings and cottages
blown down.
The entire country between here and
Cotton has been secured as with moving
machine.
South Cucamonga has literally been
swept out OF existence, the inhabitants
fleeing for their lives to neighboring settle
ments.
At many places along the railroad trains
were boarded by fugitives from wrecked
homes, bearing with them what personal
property they valued or lad been able to
save
The orange crop has received the most
serious damage. Al Riverside, San Bernar-
dino, the Duarte and San Gabriel the fruit
is lying on the ground in untold numbers.
and many of the trees have been literally
uprooted.
1t will take this portion of the State
some time to recover from this disastrous
occurrence.

After mentioning that in certain
event the House Of Representatives
would have to elect President of the
United States the New York World
adds:
"a majority of the House, voting
by States as units, is20. The Republi-
cans have now - votes and the Demo
Gratis II, New Hampshire being tied.
If the Republicans regain the Rhode
Island district it will give them just a
majority. If they lose it neither party
will have o majority. In case of fail
ure of the House to elect the Constitu-
ton provides that tine ce-President
shall act as President, as in the case OF
the death or other constitutional dis
ability of the President But there is
now no Vice-President, and the presi-
dental succession has been changed to
the Cabinet. The interesting question
is therefore raised whether, in case OF
q failure to elect a President by both
the people and the House, Mr.. Bayard
would succeed to the presidency upon
the 4th of March, 1889, until q new cleo
ton could be held.
The World is on the wrong tack.
The President alluded to is the
one to be elected for the next term, and
who would be elected by the Senate in
case the electoral colleges failed to elect
President and e-President. 1t re-
quires only two thirds Of the Senate to
make a quorum for the election Of a
Yice-President, and only majority
vote to elect him.

Pooling.

1t was stated yesterday in our tele-
graphic columns that it was surmised
in Baltimore that the new "deal in
railroads then and there so much talked
about had been fastened by the pas
sage of the interstate commerce bill.
The Clarke Courier, of Virginia, has
received from a gentleman in the South,
who has charge of a large manufac-
turing interest, letter containing the
following confrmatory statement
eff this syndicate controls the inn
portant lines there will be no compe-
tition, and hence no necessity for pool
ing, as the rate will be matter in their
own hands. Georgia regulates the
rate through hercommission within her
own borders. The necessity of snch o
commission in every State and such s
law as that Of Georgia's rs now not only
apparent but absolute and positive.
The tendency to a powerful combina-
ton of capital aiming to maintain
monopoly is now stronger than ever,
and the producer as well as the con-
sumer must look well ahead to prevent
complete enslavement.

| The Governor-What He Asked For.
we have elsewhere in this day issue
of the Dispatch described as one that
could not be entertained the only debt
proposition which we had ever known 10
be made to the State authorities Of Vir-
ginia. Since penning that article we
have received information which en-
ables us TO add the statement that the res
olutions reproduced in our issue OF
Tuesday contain the only proposition
the Governor has received from Lon
don touching the State debt.
All the reports in regard to prof
fered compromise no doubt originated
in the fact that Governor LIE requested
to be informed by the counsel here Of
the foreign bondholders how many
bonds were controlled by them, and re-
ceived as an answer that they held or
practically controlled the great bulk Of
the consols and ten-forties. The desire
of the Governor was to ascertain where
the outstanding obligations of the State
were located and who held them. That
is all there is in it. The only PROPOSE
ton the Governor has received is the
following:
"That this meeting deplores the long
contest into which the bondholders
have been forced for the maintenance
of their rights, and whilst asserting its
steadfast determination not to accept
the Riddleberger settlement. which, in
view of the admitted ability of Vir-
GINA to settle with her creditors, and
the sacrifices they have already made
on her behalf, it considers dishonest and
unjust, hereby expresses its Willingness
to meet the State and entertain q rea-
sonable compromise based upon the
present taxation and the available reye-
nue. after providing for the constitu
tional appropriation for government,
schools, and other public expendi-
lures"
The reader will see at once that this
is the resolution which we republished
last Tuesday. and had repeatedly pub
lished before, and is also the same old
town-meeting resolution which was
adopted in London on the 2tth of Sep
TENDER last-six months ago lacking
two weeks.
In order to be certain of our facts,
we took the trouble to get them from
headquarters-the Governor.
. The bondholders must come down a
peg or two. Their proposition is en-
tirely beyond the reach Of the people
of Virginia.
